You Can't Control Market Volatility, but You Can Control What You Do About It
It has certainly been a volatile past few years on the stock markets. After the S&P 500 tanked some 33% in March 2020 after the pandemic hit, it more than doubled from the troughs of the COVID-19 bear market to almost 4,800 at the end of 2021. Then in 2022, the S&P 500 fell 19% as the technology bubble burst. So far this year it is up roughly 8% year to date, as of May 9, but many market analysts believe we could see yet another correction, which is defined as a market drop of at least 10%.
